Pip Edwards pours herself into a $2,880 Alex Perry evening gown – and steps out with a mystery date

Pip Edwards turned the glamour right up to 10 on Thursday night when she stepped out for the Million Dollar Beard Ball in Sydney .

The 41-year-old P.E Nation designer ensured all eyes were on her in a $2,880 strapless gown by Australian designer Alex Perry.

However, the blonde bombshell preferred to keep her date for the event under wraps, with nothing more than a purposeful tease on Instagram for her adoring followers.

In a series of posts on Instagram, Pip shared photos of herself getting ready for the event in her jam-packed walk-in wardrobe. 

Pip looked stunning in the figure-accentuating black gown, and accessorised with gold earrings and a pop of red lipstick.

She also cryptically shared a close-up photo of two men in tuxedo jackets, zooming in on their torsos. 

While it’s not known who the men are, they appeared to have been accompanying Pip and friend Britt Gallagher to the star-studded event.

After opting to skip the red carpet at the event, Pip’s friend Britt shared a photo of the glamorous pair making their way down a laneway towards The Ivy in Sydney, where the ball was taking place. 

‘We’re running late in a blur,’ she captioned the photo. 

Pip also posted photos from inside the ball, showing off the glamorously decorated ballroom and program for the charity event.

Pip has been recently linked to restaurateur Cameron Northway, who co-owns Rocker in Sydney’s North Bondi.

The pair were pictured leaving Cameron’s home in Sydney together – several hours after they’d celebrated Pip’s 41st birthday with an intimate dinner at French restaurant Hubert the night before.  

When approached for comment, Pip’s representative Louise Gaffikin told Daily Mail Australia: ‘Pip and Cameron are friends. No further comment.’

It comes after Pip’s high-profile relationship with Michael Clarke, 39, came to an end.

It’s understood they split a few months ago, less than a year after they went public with their romance.

While they were inseparable for much of the relationship, as of late March neither had featured on the other’s Instagram since Australia Day.

When contacted about their split at the time, Pip told Daily Mail Australia: ‘I have no comment, no comment at all.’

The Million Dollar Beard Ball was held to raise money for the world’s first nationwide skin check program. For more information or to donate, visit the Beard Season website.
